Im odd. I love 1/2 a tin of smoked baby clams and 4 or 5 triscuits. ( I split the tin with my husband.) Really great if your in need of iron. Triscuits, laughing cow light swiss and hot pepper jam Pb on well almost anything. Veggies and spicy hummus

One I like is at IIFYM.com it lets you put in ALL your daily activity and calculates from there. http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ it's the 3rd one down, as you can see there are also 3 others on that page. you could take an average from all three of those. One way or the other all these calculators are still only a…

I didn't buy the DVDs my gym offers the class. I do it twice a week. I absolutely love the class!! it crazy hard and I end every class feeling the same way "that was f....n miserable... when can i do it again!!" that said I've been workingout consistently for 2 years now. I'm in pretty good shape. but ever since ive…

I like a little chocolate daily but i found that if i have milk chocolate i really over do the "little" part of that so i started buying dark flavored chocolate ( plain dark is not so great ) but i now actually prefer mint dark chocolate over almost any form of milk chocolate. I've totally replaced sour cream with Greek…

Here here!! Have an IPA micro-brew or even a Guinness But for the love of beer stay away from that piss water calling itself beer!!

My guess would be that since exercise changes the chemical balance in your brain, Your old prescription that was working for the old chemical makeup in your brain is no longer working. you may simply need a new prescription. exercise does work on depression for people with moderate depression. but if you're dealing with a…

I log my whole day in the morning as my menu plan for the day. It takes 5min tops then all I have to do is stick to the plan. I update it if something changed or if I feel like keeping track of my water for the day. but other than that 5min and I'm done.

you may want to get your hands on a book called Starting Strength the 3rd edition by Mark Rippetoe. the Kendal version is just under 10$ right now. it walks you though barbell basics in such a comprehensive way after reading it you'll be a fountain of knowledge! lol no really it is great book!!

I weigh in every morning. I record it in an app called libra. Libra puts your weight on a chart so you can see what your moving average, (your true weight) is. that way fluctuation don't alarm me and I spot trends easily and very quickly.

I loved reading all of yor NSV you guys are awsome!!!

My favorite kickboxing instructor telling me she thought I should become an instructor. At first I thought maybe she was just being nice, then she gave me her cell number, added me on Facebook and has since become my mentor. I wanted to become an instructor before she even mentioned it but was getting in the way of myself,…

With your height and activity level 1200 should be fine but may be difficult to keep up. A lot of people on here like the TDEE 20% method. I lost most of my weight on another site that recommend calorie ranges ( mine is currently 1200 -1500), rather than stagnant numbers that only increase when you workout thay day. (I…

Surprising my kiddo with a bowling outting with all his buddies, Seeing friends I haven't seen in a while and buying some very nice new makeup :-) good day!

My favorite instructors smiling face :happy: ( she'd been out for the past 2 weeks )

YAY!!! Congrats that's awesome!!!

Let yourself have some of the things your craving, dont fight it. Just try to keep it with in your calories. Dont even think about the bloat it will drop right back off, you know that.

I found the link for you http://www.theyummylife.com/Refrigerator_Oatmeal

really just stir it all together until well mixed (I do so right in the jar, though that can take some practice to not make a big mess lol ) slap a lid on it and let it sit overnight. couldn't be easier!

I make refrigerator overnight oats the night before. I make them in a small mason jar so if I must I can eat them in my car. Base = 1/4 C rolled oats, 1/3 C Milk, 1/4 C Greek Yogurt & 1 Tb chia seeds. from there you can add 1/4 C of Banana & 1 Tb cocoa powder OR 1/4 C apple sauce & 1/2 tea cinnamon OR 1/4 C banana &1 Tb…

HRM are really just for cardio so the weights and leaving it on while walking from one place to another could be throwing off your #'s quite a bit. if you want a good picture of how much your body burns in a day look into a titbit or bodybug they are meant to be worn for 24hr.

the machines at the gym that tell you how many calories are burned are way off!! My Fitness Pal is a little better but the best way to tell how many calories you burned is to wear a heart rate monitor. you can usually find one on Amazon fairly cheap.

I can only speak for myself. I have a medium frame and fairly athletic build. Ive been down to 125 really I think that's perfect for me. I think at 120 I'd likely lose my athletic look and I take a lot of pride in my muscles, Id hate to lose them.

I like to mix it up. I love some of the classes offered at my gym. I also love trail runs, mountain biking, ect . Big fan of variety! that said in the winter I do find myself in a pretty solid routine 90% of which is in the gym.

Yes and huge!!!

When that happens to me its ether..right before my period or right before ovulation, after a strenuous workout or if I have not been drinking enough water.

Do it!!! they are sooo fun and really great for beginners!! the lines to get through the obstacles give you a chance to catch your breath and everyone is there to have a fun

You'll get better! For now just normal jacks are fine. when you lose your way in the cardio just run inplace .And yes coordination will improve as your fitness improves.

This only drop the perhaps and make it a definitely!
